Hamlin, after leading 159 laps, saw his aspirations of reaching his 60th victory frustrated.\n\nThe race took an unexpected turn when Bubba Wallace, in a close battle with Christopher Bell, was heading for victory. However, a spectacular restart in extra time, after Zane Smith&#8217;s incident, opened the doors for Elliott, starting from eighth position, to take the checkered flag.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>What a crazy finish!
